Has anyone used one of these flash cards? I bumped into a guy selling them at the local markets. I bought one to give it a try as he says they are the "best" out now. My initial opinion is that they are not better than a DSTWO, but the interface and speed is quite nice. Compatibility seems good, but I need to test quite a bit more.

I can confirm that is the directory structure of the SD card. I have a copy of it on my desktop. I'll see about getting a picture of the actual interface for you once the kids leave the house (DSi's are xmas presents, so can't bring them out in front of them).

but if you look in the W4.rar from the site it also contains "akmenu4.nds" what is that?

okay thanks. and i will try to put this on my R4 in about an hour.

EDIT: "askmenu4.nds" is for an Acekard. its like the "_DS.MENU.DAT" of an Acekard. (System file.)

Hmm, link I'm going to have to go with R4 clone, which has clearly already been established numerous of other times in this thread

I'm quite interested to see the UI, only thing I can't find on the site. But why are you going to test it on the kid's DS? Especially when they didn't even open it yet, I think everybody here can wait until the 25th or so, this way your kids won't think they got a pre-used toy, I'd be very angry at my parents if they decided to "test" my new toy before I even got to lay my hands on the packaging.

Must be a first rate product, just look how carefully they photoshopped that logo(look at white patches in between letters).
They also claim* their SDHC card supports 64 GBs, so they must be technological geniouses!

Why do they have to be "tecnological geniouses" to support 64 gig MicroSD HC? You do realize MSDHC can and does go up to 64GB.

its either an ak2i clone or someone made their own sticker and is selling another companies product. if the new version of wood runs on it then it is probably a wood supported r4 clone. if akaio v1.5 runs on it, its an actel chipped ak2i based clone, probably based on the design acekard sold while ago. there are a few cards that can run both wood and the cracked version of akaio, they are all ak2i actel based designs.

either way you bought a clone. support for it will be determined by wood. if wood supports it and the card works well, as long as you didn't pay to much for it, juet enjoy it. shots of the pcb would be nice so we could figure out exactly what card this seller is putting his own custom stickers on.

Quoted from QUOTE:

For the new SDHC (2.0) implementation, 32 bits of the identification string are used to indicate the memory size in increments of 512 bytes. The SDCA currently allows only 26 of the 32 bits to be used, giving a maximum size of 32 GB. All SD cards with a capacity larger than 4 GB must use the 2.0 implementation at minimum. Two bits that were previously reserved and fixed at 0 are now used for identifying the type of card, 0: standard; 1: SDHC; 2, 3: reserved. Non-SDHC devices are not programmed to read this code and therefore cannot correctly identify SDHC or SDXC cards

Quoted from QUOTE:

Similarly to the above, as of version 2.00 of the specification,[23] the capacity of an SDHC card is limited to 32 GB. However, while not strictly adhering to that standard, it is in principle possible to create SDHC-like cards of up to 2 TB capacity. Some SDHC devices will accept SDXC cards with capacities greater than 32GB and recognize the full capacity, however compatibility is not guaranteed in all cases. SDHC cards have a fixed sector size of 512 bytes.

QUOTESDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity, SD 2.0) is an extension of the SD standard which increases card's storage capacity up to 32 GB. SDHC cards share the same physical and electrical form factor as older (SD 1.x) cards, allowing SDHC-devices to support both newer SDHC cards and older SD-cards. To increase addressable storage, SDHC uses sector addressing instead of byte addressing as in the previous SD standard. Byte addressing supported card capacities up to 4 GB, whereas sector addressing can theoretically support capacities up to 2 TB (2048 GB). The current standard limits the maximum capacity of an SDHC card to 32 GB[24] (it is expected that the SDHC specification will be revised in the future to allow card capacities greater than 32 GB[12]). SDHC cards will not work in devices designed to the older SD 1.x specification. The SDHC trademark is licensed to ensure compatibility.[25]
